Members of the Callahan County Historical Commission met on Tuesday, April 28 at 6:00pm. Chairman Amy Hart led the meeting with thirteen members and two guests present.
The Corn Road historical marker on the Berry ranch in Clyde continues to progress towards replacing the stolen marker. The text has been approved by the Texas Historical Commission. We are now awaiting the marker to be sent which could take up to 45 days.
New historical marker possibilities were discussed including the American Legion Halls in Cross Plains and Baird. Information will be gathered in preparation of the paperwork required by the state of Texas so that the text can be written and submitted to the state.
Another potential marker is the Longhorn Studio in downtown Clyde. We are pursuing information including the original date of operation. Several iconic musical artists have made use of the recording facilities at the studio. It is currently operating as Wonderland Records. Any information and photos or documents would be helpful in the pursuit of the official marker.
Our next meeting will be July 14 at the Putnam Community Center.
